Good question, I have always avoided it previously, because it's of a personal nature and may give a false impression of why I am on here.
Now, I have reached the point where it does not matter. I have become somewhat of an expert in determining why I get the responses I do and as to whether I dismiss them as scammers or those who seek to enter into a relationship with ulterior motives.
I own a restaurant with two flats above from which I receive an income sufficient to be comfortable.
In exchange for my good fortune, in life, I run an on line debt counselling business which is largely charitable, but involves me defending people less fortunate than myself in the English Courts, where the banks, mortgage or credit companies have applied for Possession Orders to remove them from their homes.
I also deal with bankruptcy cases and provide advice to individuals or small businesses who find themselves in financial difficulties.
I am legally licensed by the appropriate government authorities and have yet to loose a case in Court.
I say yet, because, no doubt there will come a time when I will loose and I would find that difficult to deal with, on a personal level.
Vous vous souvenez de la chanson, j'ai seulement des yeux pour vous.... Maintenant, je dois me coucher finalement et pense à vous quand je me réveille....
I feel desperately sorry for you, at the very least, the thread originator has had the grace and humility to admit that she had no idea of the impact of such an insulting thread...I salute her...with the appropriate emoticon....
Look at the original thread, the content of which was clearly designed to cause the maximum publicity of a kind which I find repulsive and utterly unnecessary.
Your defence of the thread, puts you in the same despicable and ill mannered category.
And, you, possess maturity beyond your years, which will serve you well in the future.
If I was around your upper age limit and was looking for partner, I would zero in and take a chance on the opportunity to open up an amorphous treasure chest.
LOL.....so nice to have you on my team....what would one do without the support of another Lone Ranger...call in the ragged impoverished Tonto, I suspect...
You won't regret this one, it's a cricket term, if the ball has not knocked the bales of the stumps, the batsman is still in and not out. i.e.: Still single. Stumps are round wooden stakes and the bales are wooden pegs which rest on the top of the stumps.
Of course, "therm" could imply "hot", a matter of conjecture, sorry about that. It was irresistible...
